Smocks Suggest
Latin Quartier
“Oli, some bird just thought that he
would like to paint a picture on the
back of his smock and ho did it in
pretty bright colors and now all of
the boys are doing it,” said one of the
architecture “boys” the other day, re
ferring to the passion newly discovered
this year in the architecture school for
sporting smocks with gay parrakoets
and macaws painted on the back of
their smocks. These smocks are or
dinarily of a quiet tan, blue or brown.
The original incentive for the color
outburst, so the story goes, was a Bo
hemian Ball at which a prizo was of
fered for the best painted and design
ed smock, the victor to be crownod
with a laurel wreath. But not all of
the smocks are (Jcvoted in theme to the
feathered species, some sorts startle
the eye with such combinations as a
blue skull and cross-bones on a tan
background or a monkey winding his
tail around a sleeve. Usually the de
signs are set off a circular painted
background of orange, if the original
color of the garment is adjudged lack
ing in vivacity. One is brilliant with a
motif of King Tut’s court.
The “boys of the school” maintain
a spirit of camaraderie and mischiev
ous fun-making which is well-known on
the University campus. When the fac
ulty of the school arrived in the draft
ing room one morning shortly after the
painting fast, they found every gay
smock suspended from the ceiling above
the owner’s drafting table by means of
thumb tacks, so that the whole resem
bled a Chinese laundry, save that the
brilliant colors suggested a “Nightmare
In Bohemia.”
University Girls
Are Always Nice
Who is tlu> woman oil the campus
known personally to every co-ed, and
to whom every University girl is indeb
ted for a kindness at some time during
her University life?
Eliminate the dean of women and
guess again.
Over at the physical education de
partment at the Women's building,
there is a motherly looking woman,
with kind gray eyes and smooth gray
hair, the kind of a woman with whom
all girls are conscious of the feeling of
sympathy and understanding that
seems to emanate from a real mother.
Eor the past five years, in recurrent
times of storm and stress, she has bus
ily helped find missing garments, open
lockers, and save many a girl a “cut”
from class.
“Oh, Mrs. Henipy, I can’t find my
locker key, would you unlock it for
me?” and Mrs. Hempy supplies the ne
cessary key. And when there are but
tons to be sewed on, a missing middy
tie to be found or any other of the
many small duties which are always
having to be performed, Mrs. Hempy
is there as the helping hand.
Every girl recognizes the picture,
and every girl is probably wondering
whether she has always remembered to 1
thank Mrs. Hempy for these small kind
nesses. According to Mrs. Hempy the
girls are appreciative.
“I’ve had several girls of my own,
and so I just try to help them out,”
she says. “The girls are always nice
to me, they are never cross or impa
tient, no matter how hurried they are,”
she added.
JUNIORS WORK; WOMEN FEED
When nearly half a hundred Jun
ior men heard the noon whistle blow
yesterday after spending the morning
constructing temporary bleUchers on
the mill race for the canoe fete, they
were greeted with _the cry, ‘‘dinner’s
ready.” The women of the class had
prepared a great repast of salad, sand
wiches and punch which soon disap
peared under the onslaught of the hun
gry workers. The girls were givn a
yell and the men went back to work by
the time the big whistle on the Uni
versity heating plant blew for one
o ’clock.

COLUMBIA’S ERRORS HELP
HEAVY-HITTING FROSH WIN
Morning baseball games seem to be
good for the batting eyes of the
freshman tossers. But on the other
hand pre-lunch sessions apparently are
ruinous to the fielding averages of the
boys from Columbia University. This
much might be deducted from the sec
ond frosh-Columbia tilt which was
played on Cemetery ridge yesterday
morning.
The yearlings won 14 to 3, largely
by using their swatting optics to very
good advantage and smashing out a
total of 10 safe hits, and also to a
marked extent by taking advantage of
the numerous iniseues of the Portland
lads. The Columbia tossers booted the
ball terribly, 10 errors being chalked
up against them.
Outside of the hitting of the first
year men and the mistakes of the prep
pers, there were many features to liven
up the nine innings. Columbia started
out with a vengeance and took the
lead in the first inning by virtue of
Sullivan’s triple and a couple of sin
gles by Logan and Shulmerich, which
netted one run. Fred Harrison got
off with a bad start in this, his first
game for the season but at that he
struck out six men during the first
two innings. After the first inning,
he was practically invincible, however
and had things all his own way.
Homer Hicks, the mammoth Colum
bia hurling mainstay, started out in
old time form for the preppers and al
lowed nary a hit for three innings. But
in the fourth frame the frosh swat
ters began to take a liking to his of
ferings, while at the same time his
support began to go haywire. Singles
by Bittner and Carson, a couple of in
field boots, Harrison’s double, and
Schulermich’s muff of Frame’s long
fly, resulted in four runs. The babes
kept up the barrage in the fifth and
countered three more men when Hicks
hit Slade, Hobson singled through third
and Bittner slammed a circuit clout
to deep centor. In the sixth inning
tho frosh drove husky Hoiner off the
slab, scoring five runs on a like num
ber of hits and several errors.
Sehulmerieh, the visitor’s football
ace, was rushed to the mound from con
fer field in this canto and finished the
gaino in the box. He was touched up
for two more runs in the seventh but
got by the next inning without being
scored upon. Columbia scored two in
their half of the seventh and that was
the extent of tho run-getting for the
day. The frosh did not play as good
a fielding game as on Friday, but at
that they put up a nice exhibition.
Hobson and Slade performed in big
league style while all three of the out
fielders came through with some diffi
cult catches.
The score: R H E
Columbia .. 3 5 10
Frosh. 14 10 5
Batteries: Frosh, Harrison and
Bliss; Columbia, Hicks, Sehulmerieh,
and Johnson.
FROSH TRACK TEAM WINS
MEET ON HAYWARD FIELD
Stollnr work in the field events, the
hurdles, tho quarter mile and the relay
gave the Oregon freshmen a 74 point
victory in their first track meet of the
season. Corvallis high school finished
second with 118 1-3 points and was the
only school to give the first year men
serious competition. The other entries
finished: Linfield, 18 1-3; Salem, 14 1-3
and Eugene 2.
The frosh took ten firsts and Cor
vallis, three. The 100 yard dash ended
in a dead heat with Cox, Linfield, Dan
iels, Corvallis; and Miliken, Salem run
ning neck and neck at the tape. In the
mile and half-mile, the t’rosh were de
cidedly off color and the Corvallis run
ners won handily.
Kelsey of the t’rosh was high poiut
man of the meet, taking three firsts,
the hurdles and the broad jump. Mautz
and Cleaver’showed to advantage with
two firsts each and Cleaver ran a lap
in the medley relay. Anderson and
Oarlburg also garnered their share of
the points, the former winning the jav
elin with a heave of 150 feet, 3 inches,
and taking third in the broad jump.
Finishing third in the 3-0 yard dash,
Carllmrg came back in the quarter and
was yards ahead at the tape, Hermance
of the fresh finishing second.
Every freshman entering secured at j
least one point or more. Cleaver and
Richmond had things their own wav
in the pole vault, none of the preppers
being able to top the crossbar at ten
feet. In the high jump Cleaver won at ‘
five feet. Kelsey’s leap of £1 feet
11 inches was perhaps the outstanding!
feat of the afternon. From a varsity
standpoint the time was not exceptional,
but was exceedingly good wheu the j
preppers are to be considered. Mautz
heaved the discus and shot 102 feet, 5
inches and 41 feet 8 inches respectively.
Outside of the Corvallis aggregation,
little competition was offered the first
year men. The preppers from the Ag
gie town displayd rare class in the mile
and half mile, taking two places in the
former and three in the latter.
Cox, Hanser, Coberg and Erickson
garnered the points annexed by Lin
field. Salem had to be content with one
tie for first and seconds and thirds.
Eugene managed to take fourth places
in the low hurdles and the 220 yard
dash.
From all indications the frosh have
a fairly well balanced squad and with
a little more strength in the longer
races ought to place well toward the
front in most of their meets.
GOLF ENTHUSIASTS START
FIRST TOURNAMENT TODAY
Matches for flights in golf will be
played off among a number of enthus
iasts of the sport, starting today and
continuing through Thursday.
Two meets are planned this year, the
first with Reed college on May 6, and
the second with the University of
Washington sometime early in June.
Tournaments and practice playing
in Eugene are conducted on the links
owned by the Eugene Country club.
Prizes for the local flights have been
offered by Lipman and Wolf, Meier and
Frank, and A. G. Spaulding and Com
pany, the trophies being clubs and
boxes of golf balls.
Matches to be run off in the first
tournament are: Goodrich and Cronin
vs. Swindells and Bronaugh, Pearson
and Thompson vs. Anderson and Mc
Cully, Powell and Bradeson vs. Muller
and Phillips, and McClain and MftEl
wain vs. Ulrich and Ingram. The first
will be run off today.
VARSITY BASEBALL SQUAD
RECEIVES MANY INJURIES
The varsity baseball squad suffered
a severe jolt yesterday afternoon when
three of the first string men were crip
pled in practice. Doug Wright, star
infielder, was seriously injured when he
slid into third base, fracturing his
ankle.
The keystone sack was hit hard by
injuries, as both Jimmie Ross and Earl
Shafer were hurt. Ross twisted his
leg while handling a hard chance and
Shafer twisted an ankle sliding. Ross
will be out of the lineup for a week at
least and it is probable that Shafer
will be out for a few days.
TENNIS COURTS READY SOON
The first of the new tennis courts
will be ready for use in about three
weeks, according to the foreman on the
job. Concrete for a unit of four courts
is being poured. Six more will be con
structed under the present contract,
and eight will be added later. As they
dry, the courts will be surrounded by
twelve-foot woven wire fences. The
wire and the steel posts are on the
site already.
Ben Selling Gives Loan Funds
$1000; Second Within Year
Gift Arrives fortuitously when
balance left in funds is only $140
The gift by Ben Selling, of Portland,
of $1000 to the University of Oregon
loan fund, was announced by Presi
dent P. L. Campbell today. This is
the second gift of this amount made
within a year. At this time last year,
on the occasion of Mr. Selling’s seven
tieth birthday anniversary, lie was the
donor of $1000.
Mr. Selling began his benefactions
to the University a number of years ago
by the establishment of a loan fund
for students, which was designated by
the institution as the Ben Selling Loan
Fund. The gift this week increased
the amount of the fund, with interest
accumulation, to approximately $2250.
The gift from Mr. Selling arrived
fortuitously. The University comp
troller reported a day or two ago that
there was a balance of only $140 in the
student loan fund, aside from two
small special funds available only to
limited groups of students. The loan
| funds of the University now amount
' to $15,527.64, including' the two spe
cial funds. These are lent to students
| at 6 per cent interest, and are secured
by signatures of property owners. There
has been no loss of these fuuds during
| recent years. Large numbers of stu
dents who are wholly or largely depen
dent upon their own resources are aided
toward completing their education by
these funds.

When I buy this University I am go
ing to change a lot of things, but first
I think I shall change all the four
year courses into five year ones. And
the third year in my five year courses
will be a nip and tuck keel-hauling,
misery-breeding and joy-bringing
course in vagabondry.
The first two years will give my
students the keen eye and the inquisi

will use them.
And as the months roll by and my
students graduate I will come t^ have
as many friends as Dean Straub or
